Phase 2 · Step 6 of 10

Host an Annual Planning Party

Turn “you know what we should do?” into shared ideas with clear owners and dates.

The core principle

Phase Two converts your project into our neighborhood.

What to do next

  • Bring snacks and big paper; make it a celebration, not a business meeting
  • Let neighbors claim ideas they are excited to host
  • Publish a shared annual calendar

When someone says “you know what we should do,” collect the idea and ask when they would enjoy hosting it. The opportunity to contribute is not a burden; it is how the neighborhood becomes everyone's.
